Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Abstract
Political instability, degrading state of the Nigerian polity and a constant need to
validate the legality of its democracy is a riptide to the political renewal process.
This study examines the underlying factors of sit-tight syndrome and its effects to
political development in Nigeria from the onset of democratic practice in the country.
The study tends to answer important questions on political decay via failures of
having a viable government for years. This study employs the quantitative method in
providing a framework of the problem. In the analysis section, a statistical test was
performed to bring more understanding on the survey done categorically to focus on
the objectives of the study. This study found three major factors that formed the basis
of analysis namely: (i) god fatherism, (ii) corruption and (iii) electoral process all
impactful on the political renewal in Nigeria. They act as determinant factors that can
affect the political renewal system in Nigeria. Finally, the study recommends that the
research should be encouraged in the academia and the Nigerian government can
focus on the identified loopholes to enhance political development and safeguard the
future of the nation.
